And there'in lies the challenge ad-astra.
The T&C's at
VB did mprove, although to start with they were nowhere near as rediculous as those at VA! They improved because of a united pilot group, but also due to strong company growth, aided in no small measure by the death of Ansett!
The situation now is very different.
- No competitor about to fall over
- Significant decline in demand
- Red ink forcast for the forseeable future
- A serious lack of industrial protection
Without doubt a united pilot group will be fundamental for change. The other factors however may just put the VA pilots between a rock and a hard place!
